What have you learnt in the past month?
I have learnt about some bits of history and how it use to be in the 1700’s, how people use to have it harsh and the law was very different. Its surprising how much it has changed in these days.
What did you do to help yourself learn?
I studied and talked about it with friends and it just kind of stayed in my head.
What did you do that made it difficult for you to learn well?
Sometimes I talked in class and didn’t concentrate.
Who did you work with? Were these effective (good) working relationships?
All together I have worked with Justin, Olena, and Mark. When I worked with Justin he did not pay much attention but we got the work done and when I worked with Olena and Mark we did well together.
How did you go with meeting your goals for the semester?
It was hard trying to figure out what my goals were but at the end of the day I just want to study hard and pass and hopefully learn something very interesting. I love historical/treasure movies because there so much things to learn about the world and things that people don’t know are there from the past. Its fascinating and that’s why I would love to learn things like that.

I have learnt a lot abut the past, the first fleet, and how people lived and socialised in those days. I learnt things I never knew…

...Quotes...

Our Maker gave us two ends;
One to sit on and
One to think with.
Success depends on which one you use the most:
HEADS you WIN,
TAILS you LOSE!

I chose this quote because it caught my attention most.

The way I feel about this term and learning applies to this quote,
it’s very true and it’s a good saying to go by. I’m going with the heads
J
If I use what’s in my head and not my bottom then I could get some were.
I wouldn’t be just a seat warmer.
In class I use my brain but sometimes I just start talking and I loose concentration,
and become a seat warmer, but I’m achieving to not do that at all.

30th July Task

You, The Rule Maker

I read everyone’s opinions and thoughts on what rules should change and it seems that there are many different views. Most people talk about the school uniform and that hey should be aloud to wear more of the colours and clothes underneath the uniform they want. There were a couple other opinions on allowing mobile phones and getting spares.

School Rules

Most of the opinions are on how some of the rules are dumb and not fair that why students disobey them. Other students just want to be cool and show off and other just don’t care.


RDSC with No School Rules

A lot of the students including myself think that that school would be out of control and coming to school would be pointless. Some of the opinions say that there would be heaps of fights, equipment would be broken. The school wouldn’t be cared for and there would be a total different attitude.

Monday 18th August 18

How effectively have you used class time?
I think that I use class time effectively and do my work but sometimes I get distracted and I start taking but I still manage to do my work.

How often have you completed homework tasks?
I complete homework often, I have missed a couple times but I think I’m on track.

What outstanding work do you still have?
My graffiti podcast and me and Olena’s talk about homework.

In which area do you believe you have made your greatest improvement?
I have made little improvements such as not talking as much ad finishing my work earlier.

What are your two weaknesses you need to continue to work on?
1. I still talk and giggle sometimes.
2. I’m not trying my absolute best.

I have enjoyed our excursions.

I have learned that I need to listen and observe.

I have shown high expectations when I do all my homework, listen, pay attention more. Put more effort into my work.

I have demonstrated the following skills and abilities with will help me to succeed in year 10.

· Listen
· Ask questions
· Do my work
· Finish homework
· Pay attention ( most of the time )

Most of these abilities I have shown/done and can help me with my future studies of year 10.


Students in 9P2 never try their absolute best.
Students in 9P2 always Do most of their work.

Student support sessions are stupid because it feels like detention but can help students with their homework and If they need information on a topic that they don’t understand they could spend time with the teacher asking about it.
